Keepass is the way to go. It’s really stupid to store your passwords out in the public. Unless they are willing to put up a million dollars per user in an escrow account against any type of security breach.

Even knowing I could say no, I would probably say yes to a lot of these just because it’s easier. Knowing that I have nothing to hide, I feel like withholding information from the police just because I’m allowed to will, in many cases, just make me seem suspicious. These are important rights to have, but not…

and exactly how would that happen. Nothing I said was angry, bitter or inflammatory. It was simply facts that my rep and I both support oversight and someone approving people’s applications for a program like this. How is that so morally reprehensible to anyone? Oh, somehow you were triggered, it is ok, there is a…

Thanks, mine already supports removing this program so I am good. My rep already said he would prefer a smaller more manageable program with oversight for those who apply and are accepted.

Assuming you had an interview the Thank You note should be going out before you know whether you were rejected or not.

One of the best places to check is the fuse block. Made of light weight metal because it is never supposed to get wet it rusts in hours. Also inside the air filter box.

You can always get more money. You can never, ever, no matter what, get more time.

I couldn’t agree more. As a manager I always want to make sure that my team can be self-sufficient without me, and that they know what resources are available to them if I’m not around. I remember I went on vacation for 2 weeks several years ago, and everyone was freaking about how I wouldn’t be checking email. All I…

No, there aren’t. If you work in an office (like I do), at the end of the day all you are doing is making some rich asshole richer. A rich asshole who, I might add, would happily can you just to save less money than he spent on the flooring of his back-up yacht.

Something that a lot of people miss is back channel availability. When I’m on vacation, I’m definitely reachable to the people covering for me in case they need something, but it’s the rest of the company I’m not available for. That way, I’m letting my team learn and grow and exercise authority with my support, and…

No. That’s just shit you tell yourself so you feel important. You can play make believe about how you are indispensable all day, but you just aren’t. Full stop.

Fair enough. There are examples where that won’t always be the case.

No, nobody is, that’s the p0int. Do you think the company would go bankrupt if you got hit by a bus? If the answer is “no” and (hint) it’s always “no” then take a f’ing vacation.

Or, better idea. Don’t lie, and simply say “I am out of the office until XXXX If you have an urgent need, please contact YYYYY, otherwise I will respond to you when I’m in back in the office.”

Why do people insist on making things so difficult? Did you get approved by HR or whoever to take your vacation? Good. Stop whining about how busy you are and how hard it is to get away. Your vacation time was approved. Go on your vacation and do not take any devices that might tempt you to do any work. Have a phone…

I put the following as my out of office reply a few times. I have replies from folks who loved it. I can’t take full credit, I found a similar one on a website years ago, but I modified it slightly.

My Mom got a Yeti for Christmas one year, and the problem with it is that it works too well. Like, you know how you have a cup of ice water, and you drink all the water, but that’s okay, because every time after that when you’re really thirsty, there’s a couple sips worth of water from the melted ice? Yeah, that…

Strain out the rice, freeze it, throw it in smoothies.
